You remember Final Fantasy XIV, right? It’s that game that a few of our old website logos used to be based on. It’s been a while now since Final Fantasy XIV shut down to the public, with the promise of an upcoming relaunch in the form of A Realm Reborn. Well wait no longer! While the beta for Realm Reborn has been trucking along for a while now, with the third phase to come sometime this month, Square Enix has been rather quiet on the exact details. Now we know thanks to a press release from Square that FFXIV: A Realm Reborn will launch August 27th.

Players are able to pre-purchase the title on PC or PS3 and receive early access to the game, as well as other item perks. The collectors edition includes a number of extra perks including a FFXIV themed authenticator. You can check out the entire details of the pre-purchase packages at the link below.

Pre-Purchase Defiance On Steam, Get More Rewards

Recently, Valve has been partnering up with publishers to add extra incentives to pre-purchasing through Steam. The idea is pretty simple: The more people pre-purchase, the better rewards everyone will receive. For instance, if enough people order Bioshock Infinite before it launches, everyone will receive a free copy of XCOM, Bioshock, as well as a few Team Fortress 2 items. With its launch on the horizon, April 2nd to be exact, Trion Worlds has partnered with Valve to offer just such a promotion.

Unfortunately there is no indication as to exactly how many people need to order a copy per tier. The base purchase of $59.99 will net you a beta invite, xp boost, an outlander outfit, a Steam-exclusive sniper, and an exclusive title. At tier 1 players will receive another exclusive title (Steam Powered), +5 inventory slots, and an exclusive ATV mount. At tier 2 players will receive a free copy of Rift. At tier 3, players will receive a lock box, +5 inventory slots, a 7 day xp boost, a discount on the season pass, and an exclusive vehicle.

Higher tiers include the lower tier rewards. The Defiance season pass includes five packs of DLC that Trion will roll out in the year or so following Defiance’s launch.
